About our non-slip bath coating in Chignall St James
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
